Caution when purchasing.....
« on: April 14, 2021, 07:42:02 PM »
When buying on-line for your scooter/cycle try to make sure what your buying is what you want.  I went to purchase an aftermarket GIVI windscreen for my new AK550.  The top of the ad said that the screen was a GIVI D6110S.  The description gave the dimensions which was for a D6110ST screen.  The D6110S is a short version of the D6110ST.
So what screen are they selling ?
I ordered a graphics kit for my new AK550.  After receiving it and looking at all the pieces I realized that I was going to have to do a lot of trimming of parts for the pieces to fit.  Where lines and letters were supposed to connect, that wasn’t going to happen.  Just be careful when ordering on-line. Things aren’t always as they appear. :-\ :-\

Know the quality of the seller you're dealing with.
I've done over 1000 ebay transactions with 0 issues, because I research the person's history first.
There are plenty of good online retailers....but if you step away from them you better do plenty of research of the seller and the product.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.
